I see water but where's the crack??

Did you suspect anything wrong with the head while it was apart? Installed a new head or rebuilt original head?
In the picture, the crack runs from the center, left of the big hex plug, to the head bolt on the left. No suspicion on the original head. The machine shop leak tested it. I assume they only tested the combustion chamber with the fresh ground valves. The crack is more obvious in real time with water seeping out.
 
Is it leaking below the cylinder head plug? You can replace the metal gasket under each one of those big Allen heads. The gaskets come in the engine gasket kit.
No. The crack runs between the edge of the plug to the head bolt on the left.
 
Now to find a cylinder head and the two 10mm sockets I dropped behind the engine.
 
OK, think I found it. On first glance it looked like the edge of a puddle of water
